Raleigh police officer Sam Quinn and
Probation Judicial District Manager Doug Pardue at
Halifax Court COMPASS. The police have equipped and
staffed an office in four low income housing communities
and operate a mobile COMPASS station that visits others.
Probation officers will join the police in these offices
where they can get to know the community and have a site
where they can meet probationers who live there.

Police say they have found bikes to be
valuable tools in quickly reaching parts of the complex.

At Halifax Court, police have also
established a video monitoring system that allows the
police to closely watch the neighborhood and record any
illegal activitiy.
